Favourites list - 2012 (AM)

Oh shit! This year is almost over. And if there is one thing I like to do at the end of the year it is get drunk. And if there is another thing I like to do at the end of the year it is reflect on what I have loved that year. Am I right? So here is my 2012 favourites list. Some of these things are long time favourites, some are new. Some will continue to be favourites, others will probably also continue to be favourites.

Bed. Seriously,
is there ever a night that you get into bed and think, ‘Nah, this is not that
good’? Lying down when you are really tired and you got that doona all up on
you, there are really few things I love more.

An appropriate amount
of spread.In this age of excess
nothing is safe. Vendors of Smith Street, hear me now, a cinnamon and raisin
bagel needs just a schmear of cream cheese. It just gives it a little tang and
moistness, by no means does it need spoonfuls. And Vegemite, and this is coming
from a salt freak, a girl whose own sister can not tolerate the amount of
Vegemite I put on toast, Café Rosamond, I like you a lot, but chill the fuck
out on the Vegemite.

Brevity. Lately
Baby has gotten in to kids movies. There are some really good ones out there
and you know what one of their best qualities is? Brevity. A kids movie goes for
80, maybe 90 minutes. Now that is a movie length. An adults movie should go for
maybe 100 minutes, max! Two hours if it's really good or there’s something special to
say. Hollywood, take note: more than that is too long, so chill the fuck out!

Jesse Pinkman.From the first episode of Breaking Bad Ipretty much loved Jesse. Dude was a skanky meth-cooking, meth-smoking skank in those days, but he was so adorable. Sweet and vulnerable and
kind of caring. The guy goes through a lot of shit and has to do some shitty things but he is just this fucking sweetheart. A while ago I said
to K, ‘I love Jesse Pinkman. I love him!’ And she laughed at me. About 2 weeks
later, after she had caught up on a bit more BB K said to me, ‘I love Jesse
Pinkman. I love him!’Between Vince
Gilligan and Aaron Paul I think they have created genius. Jesse Pinkman is a
work of genius. And I love him
